HI, I’M Gabriel Allen

I’m an Undergraduate Student at CSU, with a passion for sustainable and efficient engineering

I’ve always been obsessed with the moment a project becomes an organism-the sensors blink, and your vision comes to reality. For me, engineering isn’t about assembly & building; it’s that endless search for efficiency in a world governed by entropy.

My journey hasn’t been linear. I moved around a lot in school, yet one discipline remained, following my goals in understanding the world around me. The mechanics of energy, I always built my products, justified them, and focus on the optimization of that process.

Whether is automated agriculture, flight, robots, I always strive to ensure no spark of energy is ever wasted.

My Favorite Projects So Far!

I've enjoyed working on a range of personal engineering projects that showcase hands-on design, prototyping, and systems integration—everything from lightweight energy and electricity generation, an open-source successful game platform to fast mechanical cars and a student-built formula-driven excel research. These projects reflect skills in CAD, materials selection, systems engineering, rapid prototyping, and lots of testing; I intentionally exclude professional or employer-sponsored work here for confidentiality, but those experiences informed my approach and discipline. Each project has influenced my manufacturability, while showing trade-offs between systems and integration from concept to reality. I’m effective in data-driven optimization, lean-six sigma, and the importance of clear documentation. I am a driven learner and ask many questions about what’s around me!
